Can a 1-year-old baby eat chicken liver? My mother-in-law says one thing, and I'm reading something else.

Your confusion is understandable — different advice makes things confusing. Good news: 1-year-olds can safely eat chicken liver — it's actually valuable for iron. What matters is two things: liver must be thoroughly cooked (no pink inside, as there's a toxoplasmosis risk) and limit it to 1-2 servings per week (excess vitamin A can build up). Cut into very small, chewable pieces — not finely minced but not so big they're hard to chew. If your baby gets diarrhea, rashes, or stomach upset, take a break and talk to your pediatrician. Each baby is different, but current pediatric guidance welcomes liver starting from 8-9 months, so your mother-in-law might be following older advice.
